Chapter 66: The Reader of Gringotts (4)
In a dark, cramped alley in Diagon Alley, the can was sitting on a garbage bin munching on its nails, staring blankly at the wall.
There's a snoring leprechaun there...
With some alcohol and a little water of life and death, the task of kidnapping Borg is quite easy to complete.
And he also ate an unexpected melon, and after Borg got drunk, he hugged himself and cried about family conflicts... Pulling the can and sighing, it still looked so happy when we met in the morning...
Sure enough, men can only hide their grievances in their hearts...
The sunlight shone on the glass, reflecting the eyes of the can, and it was empty-eyed, and suddenly remembered when it went home to get the water of life and death...
The wife was making lunch, and her not-so-beautiful face became gentle in the warm light.
"Uh... I've got something to go out and don't come back for dinner..."The conversation between the can and his wife always has a kind of 'I want to end it as soon as possible'.
"Okay, I see," the wife said nothing, but she felt a distinct pain in her right arm as she pulled the can.
Was she hurt?
Pulling the can looked at his wife carefully, racking his brains and pondering a good word or two, "You... It's beautiful, the clothes..."The wife is wearing a dirty apron, "face...", pulling the can and feeling that she can't speak, "hair! Your hairstyle looks good! "It's finally finding its way to compliment.
"Really?" With a hint of dismay, the expression on his wife's face touched his hair, how many years had he not heard this man's compliment, "Thank you!" She smiled.
The pain in her arm is gone, and when she pulls the can and walks outside the door, she can still hear the sound of his wife humming in the kitchen, and she is too easily satisfied... If you get caught in Gringotts... I guess I'll be judged by the 'Brotherhood of Goblins'... Then I might never see her again...
For the first time, I sighed because I might not be able to see my wife, and I knew that the previous cans were far away from her.
"Suck--" Four kids licking ice cream appeared at the entrance of the alley, pulled the can to recognize Anna, jumped off the garbage can, and hurried to meet it.
"I brought the Borg... You guys... It shouldn't hurt it, right? ”
Anna glanced at the snoring Borg in the corner and pulled out her wand, "Pass out!" A flash of white light flashed, and Borg fell under Anna's spell.
The heart tightened when the can was pulled, and the borg's snoring disappeared! Once again, it affirmed that these people must have used compound potions! Ordinary children simply can't have such magic!
Fred ran to Borg and looked at it, made an OK gesture, steady, according to the experimental feedback of the glasses male thug, it could not wake up after two or three days.
"You—" pulled the can and swallowed it with difficulty.
"It's fine, it's just falling into a deep sleep." Hermione kindly explained to the can.
Fred pretended to be serious, "It won't wake up unless someone kisses it." He looked at Borg's old face and looked embarrassed.
Anna took out a bottle of wine from the blue flower cloth bag and handed it to the can, "Give it to the fairy at the door, and when it leaves, you will go in, and if you meet other people you know, you will say that you have changed shifts with someone else......"
"Waiting for it to leave...", the can's pupils fluttered, "it's waiting for it to leave this... The world? ”
George was speechless, "What do you think?" There's a colon cleansing in it – as the name suggests, it cleanses the intestines..."
"It's time for a shift change at Gringotts, so you can get the key to the vault at the bottom," the can's newly calmed pupils continued to shake.
"Be calm, get the key, just find an empty spot and wait for us to come to you," Anna patted it on the shoulder, "Remember, calm." ”
"I'm ......" pulled the can, pinching the bottle's hand with sweat, it staggered, "I tried my best..."
The noonday sun was high in the sky, the ice cream parlor was crowded with customers, the sun umbrellas were low, and the number of wizards swaying on the road dropped significantly.
Gringotts' goblin Ela was bored, "I have to watch the door at noon...", it kicked the marble pillar lightly, and muttered, "No one will come at this time..."
"Huh!" It noticed that the can was walking towards it with a bottle of wine - here comes my joy! Yira looked delighted.
"Pull the can! My friend! Yila almost grabbed the bottle from the can, "Don't be so reluctant, you have to pay something to make someone keep it a secret!" ”
Yila made a zipper gesture on her mouth with her other hand, "I promise that your family won't hear anything from me." ”
Before the can could utter a word, it maintained the posture of holding the wine, which seemed a little funny.
"What kind of wine is this?" Yira opened the stopper and sniffed it, and suddenly had a bad premonition, it stared at the can strangely, "It's quite fragrant—isn't it?" You actually give such a good wine? ”
"Uh-" The can uttered the first syllable after seeing the easy-to-ra.
"It's quite reluctant... The bottle is expensive...... "it pondered the reason, "it's just too long... Although I thought it was fine, my wife said it might be broken and asked me to dispose of it......"
"You decide for yourself whether you want to drink it or not...", Pull Can hopes that Yira will not drink the bottle, and maybe the ridiculous plan to rob Gringotts will be stopped.
But Ela was relieved, and it thought it understood.
"Hahaha... Poor can! You're being fooled by your wife, aren't you? All goblins know that the longer you leave the wine, the better—" it squeezed its eyes, "is your wife not letting you drink?" Isn't it? ”
Let's have diarrhea.
The can rolled its eyes, it wasn't worried about the nasty creature at all now.
"Haha... It's pitiful, you can only watch me happy," Yi Ra raised the bottle, and "tons tons and tons of wine" and half a bottle of wine went down.
"Awesome—" Ela laughed, but almost instantly, her smile froze and her stomach gurgling.
It looked at the can in shock, "Isn't it—"
Pull the can shrugged, "I said let you decide whether you want to drink it or not......"
Yila pointed to the can, and didn't hold back a complete sentence for a long time, "You..." It clutched its stomach, its face was flushed, and its voice was weak, "Remember me..." ”
Watching Yira rush away, the can turned around and took a deep breath and walked through the door of Gringotts.
"Ron, can you stop spinning around—" Harry looked at Ron like a headless fly in front of him with a headache, "you have to trust your friend—" he sighed.
"Of course I believe my friend!" Ron scratched his hair a little irritably, "But don't you think... Isn't it a coincidence!? He walked over to Harry.
"George really fell as soon as he went out! O Merlin's beard! Maybe there's a regent watching us right now! ”
"Maybe it's just their prank! Didn't Anna tease me too—that the tone of my inquiry about the cans was like a big devil? She saluted me! Harry waved his hand and urged Ron to relax.
"Relax Ron," Ginny said back from the window, "I didn't see anything but a dumb tabby cat sitting on the ground with a hot butt—" She shrugged, "Look at the sun, whose noble regent would go out on this shitty day?." ”
"Ahh
Under a blue umbrella outside 92 Diagon Alley, a masked wizard sneezed, shook his head, and removed his mask.
This is a young man with large European and American eyelids and deep facial features, he picked up the teacup on the table, took a few sips elegantly, and then hiccuped gracefully.
The tabby cat, sitting not far from him, silently moved a position.
Worthy of the UK...
The young man sighed in his heart that even a cat had so many ideas, and it was funny—but it was still a little worse than the three kids he met in Tumbledown Alley who wanted to rob Gringotts.
Picking up the Coke on the table, he poured some more into the teacup, listening with great interest to the wizard next door to himself complaining to himself—'Didn't he know that the teacup was for tea?' '
Taking a big sip and burping again, he saw the old wizard next door with the newspaper and his brow furrowed, 'Ahhhhhhhhh '
The man chuckled, Britain is really much more interesting than the United States!
The old wizard who read the newspaper finally couldn't resist the man's defilement of the 'teacup', he conjured a teapot and politely tapped the man's shoulder, "Son, maybe you'll want some tea?" ”
"Oh, of course, it's an honor to get a taste of the British—" he lifted the suitcase, flipped the switch at the latch, and opened the bag, "here are some American pastries I have brought with me, and I hope to enjoy them with you." ”
The old wizard poured the Coke from the man's teacup mercilessly, made a 'clean up', and then poured the tea again, "A friend from the United States? ”
"Yes, I've only been in England for less than a month," the man grinned widely, holding out his hand, "Jacob. Kowalski, nice to meet you. ”
The old wizard shook hands with him, "Bolun, just call me Bolun." ”
Bolun handed the tea to Jacob, "Your last name, doesn't feel very American?" ”
"Thanks," Jacob said, taking the teacup, "yes, it's a Polish surname, to be exact, my grandfather was an American No-Maj of Polish descent... Belch... That's what you call Muggles..."
He took a sip of English black tea with a cow chewing peony, "My name is the same as my grandfather's, Jacob......"
Old Bolen had given up the idea of letting this cheerful American young man in his twenties drink tea well, and he picked up a piece of pastry, "This is... What does a poisonhorned beast look like? It's quite distinctive. ”
"Yes!" When it comes to pastries, Jacob's whole body is in good spirits, "It's a special product of our 'Kowalski Bakery'!" I heard my mom say it was inspired by the romantic love story between my wizarding grandmother and my grandfather on the streets of New York," he stuck out his tongue, "It's too greasy for me to repeat..."
"Forgive me for taking the plunge," Bolun was a little puzzled, "your grandparents are Americans?" As far as I know, the United States has always been inhumane in regulating Muggle and wizard marriages..."
"Although the 'Rappaport Law' was repealed in '65, American wizards were notoriously unfriendly to Muggles... Your grandparents' love should have met a lot... Well... Barrier? ”
"Yes, yes! You know these things well—" Jacob finished his tea in two sips, "and that's the value of my grandparents' love!" Although my grandmother also went down the wrong path, in the end, they had a fairytale ending..."
Jacob lowered his voice, "Grandmother said that one of the people who was least likely to help her ended up helping her..."
Old Bolun raised his eyebrows, with an expression of excitement about eating melons, "Oh? Who is it? ”
The sound ———of the building collapsing interrupted the conversation between the two men.
Immediately, the roar of a giant creature echoed Diagon Alley, and a head popped out of the collapsed roof of Gringotts.
"Mom, I'm not mistaken, am I? Is that a fire dragon?! The onlookers exclaimed, and the scene was chaotic, and Bolun lifted his teacup away from the table, seeing that the tabby cat on the ground had exploded.
Jacob closed the suitcase, looking a little panicked, "What's going on!?" But he quickly reacted, could it be the three kids who wanted to rob Gringotts who made the move-
Merlin's Coke! It's... That's amazing, isn't it?
The Gringotts in the center of Diagon Alley caught everyone's attention, the dragon had climbed to the top of the building, and was spewing flames in all directions.
Jacob's eyes widened with excitement, and Bolen coughed lightly with a little pride, "Look, look, that's my great-granddaughter!"
"Oh my God, this is moving!" Harry saw the spectacle through the window, "Ginny, Ron, it's time for us to act!" ”
Ron found a bag to put the fireworks in, "Can these fireworks really attract more attention than a dragon?" ”
Ginny saw some Aurors coming, "You have to trust your friends!" Grab the bag! We're running out of time! She shouted upstairs, "Dudu! Come on! ”
"Smack," Du Du appeared in front of the three of them, motioning for them to hold their arms, "Du Du is glad to be able to help you, please don't let go of Du Du's arm when you change shapes!" ”
"I'm absolutely clamour-"
"Smack," the trio and Dudu disappeared in place.
